Double Dead Guy doesn't really mess around with the Dead Guy formula - it really just tastes like a stronger Dead Guy, although I guess technically that one is a lager and this is an ale. So we've got the caramel and light frutiness, also a beautifully clear red body. The sweetness is evident, but not overdone. It's another one of those strong beers that can be easily consumed in large quantities, until the alcohol sets in. (427 characters)

A: Very nice amber brown color pours to two fingers worth of head that dissipates to a very nice pillow of foam that clings and lingers all the way down.

S: Alot of aroma coming thru. Some sweet malty caramel that blends perfectly with a very nice light hop aroma. Hints of doughy biscuity aromas coming across as well.

T: Maltyness right off the balt, that caramel from the nose with very light dark fruit flavors lead way to a prominent hop bitterness that really does well to balance. Come piney citrus at the end with the bitter after taste.

M: Creamy, almost chewyness on the palette, very light carbonation and slight dryness at the back of the throat at the very end.

O: Done very well. Dead Guy Ale is one of my absolute favs and while i still love that one more then the double, this is def worth trying and a very nice backup. (875 characters)

Smells pretty caramel and malty. Low rating only because there's not much there.

Comes of floral but like in a candied way--I'm sure that makes no sense. Has pumpkin and spiced notes, sorta brown sugary with a sort of orange-peel tang too it. Pungeant, rich and a little Belgian-y. Rogue probably would hate this and strong ales tend to over do it, but it's a pleasant brew. Semi aggressive hops. Alcohol's not totally masked but good enough.

Dark orange colored with an off white, pillowy head of massive proportions. It lasts the entire glass, very impressive. The nose is malty and nuanced - cookie dough mingles with black licorice, vanilla and field berries. A wall of sticky, bready malts dominates in the taste. Some piney and citrusy hops lay in wait in the back, but the chewy malts are the star of the show here. Alcohol heat is noticeable, but not out of hand for the high ABV. The mouthfeel is luxuriously thick with a fine carbonation. Moderate hop bitterness and some fruitiness linger in the finish.

This is a very nice Strong Ale. Lots of malt complexity with a competent balance of hops. A contemplative one. I highly recommend this. (709 characters)

I tried this beer on June 2, 2012 after purchasing from the King and Spadina LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent scarlet red with a generous tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, alcohol, weak fruits, and floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was caramel malt, some fruit (cherry?), a little graininess, and a bitter finish. (457 characters)

Burnt amber colored beer, with a white head. Beautiful clarity. The aroma is moderately intense, with bread-crust and earthy hop aroma. Flowery, herbal, spicy, sharp yet smooth, this is a great smell. Warming, but the alcohol is dangerously coy. It sneaks up on you. Relatively low in carbonation, but enough to cut through the sweetness, which is substantial (to counterbalance the hops). Very full in body. This is a strong, exceptionally good brew.

Had a bottle of Dead Guy before to warm up and Yes it was Truly DOUBLE in every way, and of course shared this with friends making it a very special tasting. Looking for another! I rated this a 5 because it deserves it, I salivate when thinking of drinking another. Beautiful orange/red color with a strong but pleasant palatable swallow! It reminds me of a perfectly mixed cocktail but only in a beer balanced flavors of sweet/sour/bitter and floral! Friends said"You only have one"? (485 characters)

Pours cloudy amber orange color with a 2 finger foamy light tan head that was full of bubbles and faded slowly, leaving OK spotty lacing and a creamy layer on top.

Smells of caramel, sweet malt, grains, alcohol like rum, brown sugar, wheat bread or wet cardboard and maple syrup; all malty sweetness with whiffs of alcohol in the nose.

Tastes of biscuit, caramel, sweet malt, toasted grains, rum, brown sugar, wheat bread, yeast, light vanilla, herbs, cinnamon, wet cardboard, pear or apple and maple syrup; very sweet and malty with evident alcohol that is not offensive, but still a very strong ale.

Mouthfeel is smooth with mild carbonation, a medium to heavy body that is on the chewy side, and then it finishes off tart and sweet. This brew brings the heat in every sip; most of the time it's mild, BUT it's always there.

Overall a decent beer that is strong and sweet with earthy notes and an alcohol presence that shows through in every sip. I guess it fits the profile for strong ales, but I'm also glad I split this bomber. I like the regular Dead Guy ale much better. (1,084 characters)

Pours hazy copper with a fading head.Nose shows copious amounts of malt; lots of caramel, toffee and some nutty notes. There's also some spicy and resinous hops.Similarly malty flavours, with big bready characters and toffee, before the spicy, piny hops and hot alcohol rampage through. Pretty agressive, sharp and almost solvent/petrol-like.Carbonation is a little full on. (377 characters)

O/D-I enjoyed the normal Dead Guy much more. This one is a bit too sweet for me. Alcohol not masked well enough. But I drank it quite easily and without any complaint until I am currently reviewing it. (711 characters)

I'm from Oregon. Graduated from the University of Oregon in 2001. So, I take pride in quality beers coming out of Oregon. I should mention that I live in New Jersey now... and I don't get to see much from Oregon in this state.

I recommend Dead Guy to a lot of people new to craft beer. Double Guy is a nice arrival on a seasonal basis. This is one of my earliest strong ales.

I like the smell and taste of this beer. You get a lot of hop and malt presence. This is a very drinkable strong ale.

It isn't a cheap beer, but it is very tasty. I recommend the bottle if you have the cash for it. Age the bottle for six months to a year if you can. (646 characters)

Appearance: A nice copper brown color, with a good tan head that leaves tons of lacing

Smell: Heavy malt, fruity, yeasty, bready

Taste: Very sweet from the malt, with some good yeast and bread flavors. Toasted grain and caramel sweetness. There is some muted hop bitterness in the background to bring a little balance to the table. There is some citrus in here too. Tons of flavor, hard to pick all of it out.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, thick, medium carbonation

Overall: Tons of flavor, a much more developed and complicated dead guy ale. Has that distinctive dead guy flavor. I don't know how it tastes fresh, but the age has served it well. Drinks like a session beer. (698 characters)

Copper color beer, not very clear I can't see through it. The white head is nice looking and sticky. The aroma is fruity with a very good base of malts in the back. I get some caramel too. Nice aroma, I'm loving it.

On the taste it is sweet. Not aggressive at all. A dry finish too. The bitterness is there but comes slowly and sticks in the mouth. I like it. So easy to drink and the alcohol is well hidden. Delicious. Excellent beer.

Bottle received from Liam on here... in a trade done last year! :) (504 characters)

Pours a murky honey orange with an orange-tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, brown sugar, and some herbal hop aromas. Taste is the same with the addition of a perfume-like flavor that isn't too pleasant. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty average beer that I really don't care for too much. (515 characters)

Toffee and rich caramel with swirls of vanilla and hints of chocolate. Grassy and citrusy hops peek through to balance nicely. Toasted and nutty edges make for a great, sweet malty bomb with balance and complexity.

Orange in color and kind of hazy, almost murky, slightly orange tinted head was about a finger, leaving a nice sheen and decent lacing.

Fruity and caramel malts come through first, followed by a surprisingly nice hop profile. There's a little tartness and a tinge of alcohol in the smell, a little more alcohol in the taste, but it's not overwhelming.

Body is nice, thick and full, a little slick, with a nice fruity, hoppy bite on the finish and alcohol warming.

I'm actually quite pleased and a bit surprised, because I am not a big fan of regular dead guy ale. If it wasn't so friggin' expensive I'd probably drink it again. Rogue's beers are quite good, but the thing that stands out most about this brewery is the fact their beers are consistently overpriced. (769 characters)

I understand the concept of this beer and love the smell of it! Not a fav of the Strong Hoppiness! Great For a Strong ale of course but i tend to lean towards lagers and browns... Probably need to sit down and ave one of these again and really get into it! not a go to beer but You should try it out! (300 characters)

A: A hazy copper color with a thick off-white head and webs of lacing down the glass.

S: A heavy dose of caramel malt and alcohol.

T: More of the same, a nice sweet caramel malt flavor that has a little bit of earthy peat/hop and a touch of fruity ester. The alcohol is prevalent throughout, however, the sweetness overpowers it and the burn is still there.

M: Medium-heavy body with good carbonation and a little burn.

O: Yeah, this is pretty good. The more it warms and the more you get acclimated to the alcohol, the beer gets a little bit better with each sip. (568 characters)

Appearance: 1 inch bubbly head with lacing that clings to the glass, hovering over the deep red/brown body of the beer

Smell: Caramel and green apples come through first, tart and sweet. There are hints of sweet cherry undertones and bitter hop flavors

Taste: Apples, bitter citrus fruits, the cherries come through though they're hidden by a bit of tart flavor, caramel/malt flavors come through just before the finish, which is surprisingly hoppy after 2 years in the bottle.

Mouthfeel: Lightly bubbly on the tongue that flows on the palate, the hops carefully interjecting their bittering notes.

Overall: This is a great strong ale, it aged well, I'm glad to have opened it at this point but I'm curious what another 6 months would do to the hop character (801 characters)
